Discover San Sebastián's best-kept secret with this Traditional Cider House Tour. You'll have the opportunity to learn about this classic Spanish sidra and enjoy a tasting session.

Description

At the established time, we'll meet in Bengoetxea Street in San Sebastián and travel just 20 minutes to enjoy a visit to a traditional cider house.

Upon arrival, we'll tour the facilities of the Basque cider house, including the apple orchards, cellars, production process, and the history linking cider to the Basque Country.

After the tour, we'll participate in the Txotx ritual, which involves drinking the apple broth directly from the vats. While enjoying this tasting, we'll sample a menu consisting of a traditional appetizer, a cod omelet, fried cod with peppers, grilled T-bone steak, and cheese with quince jelly and walnuts.

The tour will conclude after four hours, returning to the starting point in San Sebastián.
